QUETTA, Oct 23: About 100 Afghan refugees forced their way across the Pakistan border on Tuesday in a third day of trouble at the key Chaman frontier post, government sources said.
The refugees pushed passed guards at the post in a rush which followed the government’s agreement to let in 200 needy cases, officials told AFP.
Following orders to ease worsening conditions at the desert post, security forces screened crowds waiting in a strip of no-man’s-land between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The search picked out 200 people in need of medical attention who were allowed to cross the border, the sources said.—AFP
